At least 30 people have been killed and about 100 injured in a double suicide bombing at a revered Shia shrine in Baghdad, police say.

The attack happened at the Imam Moussa al-Khadim shrine in the Kadhimiya area as people gathered for Friday prayers.
...
The bombers detonated their explosives belts within minutes of each other near the shrine, a police official told the Associated Press news agency.

The shrine, in the predominantly Shia neighbourhood of the capital, has been a target for insurgents in the past.

2. Yes, those drone bombings and air-strikes are coming back to us. Welcome to BLOW BACK.

No, it's WRONG to kill innocent civilians but when you're rag tag natives with nothing going for you save for "massive numbers" ... well, some "do what they have to do" to win the long war.

THEY will WIN the long war albeit we will "kick ass" with every SINGLE battle.

Why? The natives are going nowhere.

Want to discourage the spread of Al Quaeda and the Taliban while encouraging more democratic forms of government? STOP occupying the sovereign countries of Afghanistan and Iraq. Otherwise it's "Israel and the USA" against the Muslim world. :thumbsdown:

3. how many?

Reads like Reuters put the death toll at 60

5. So "doing what you have to do" means killing your own Women, Children, Neighbors, Mothers, Fathers,

and on and on. Not one foreigner was killed. Not one "Occupier". This is Muslim killing Muslim, pure and simple.

Now, I know you're going to try to rationalize blame on Uncle Sam, but the fact is that one group of people are responsible for this horror.

FUNDIES. Only their Fundies are not leashed like ours.

6. Like guerrilla warfare within the Vietnam War, if you do NOT have a mighty army, part of

doing what "you have to do" is ensuring that the other native DO NOT cooperate with the invaders.

If you don't have and Air Force, massive weaponry or an organized Army, you MUST fight an unconventional guerrilla war that will include killing a number of your own. However, because they live "from hand to mouth" many believe that it's worth the price to kick out the invaders.

After all, we KILLED TWO (x2) MILLION Vietnamese and won every damn military battle, yet the NATIVES won the war.

Nationalism is all-powerful. Well, unless you really think that Americans want to vacation over there? ... no, we have NO interest in that part of the world OR making Afghanistan and Iraq our 51st and 52nd States. :crazy:
